: After the first two dark bridge rooms on Shake Before Using , lava is found
: in single room with a Y-shaped floor. Between the Y's spokes are deep pits
: with lava at the bottom.

: This room also marks your first chance to dump an alien into one of the
: deadly media types, as there are a couple Troopers located on opposite
: spokes at the far end of the room. Firing a grenade at the Troopers' feet
: will send them plummeting to their fiery deaths.

: There's also some ammo, so be careful not to fall in yourself grabbing it. ;)

Aye. Y marks the spot. As you say you won't know there's lava down there unless you either fall in yourself or knock a hapless Trooper down there and hear it squeal. I love the smell of lava in the morning. ;)

The lava was carefully added to all three pits, even the one which is very difficult to fall down into. Why? Well without the lava this would have been the second suicide trap on this level (What is the first?).

Shake Before Using... is by Alex Seropian. Alex's 5th level so it would appear (What are the other four?).

This level is notable for its traps, an insanely long narrow walkway, first mention of cyborg simulacrums, a secret within a secret (but not the first), the first use of an automatic exit teleporter (Is it the last?) and who rules?

And what really happens if you don't flip those two switches at the end?

:)
